It's one thing to have so much money, but the most crucial thing is that I heard he has a particularly close relationship with the county magistrate.
And this county magistrate is said to be the heir apparent, which is truly extraordinary wealth and power!
As long as he puts on the same submissive and desperate act he had towards Ye Panjiu, he'll be eager to marry her again!
After he returned home this time, his so-called biological mother became determined not to accept him as her son.
They made things difficult for him at every turn, showing him no consideration whatsoever.
They burst into laughter at his appearance, saying, "If Ye Panjiu could still be fooled by you, she wouldn't be as rich and powerful as she is now!"
What a joke! We're all human; who can truly change their nature?
Even a dog can't stop eating shit.
Ye Panjiu walked over and looked at the scene in front of her.
If Da Liang didn't lack a phone, she would really like to start a live stream for Du Pengzhi right now.
Look at that fair skin, so thin and weak, it looks like it might collapse in the wind.
It's too hard to understand why the original owner liked this kind of man.
Upon seeing her, Du Pengzhi reacted like a starving dog seeing meat, calling out, "Pan Jiu..."
He looked at Ye Panjiu's clothes. He had never seen this material before, but it was incredibly expensive.
She wore only a hairpin, which was incredibly translucent. When the sunlight shone on it, it looked as if a bird or beast was about to take flight at any moment.
This is his wealth!
Thinking of this, tears welled up in his eyes, and he choked out, "I was wrong..."
Ye Panjiu wanted to spit at him, but then felt that it would dirty her own saliva. "What did you do wrong? Since you did wrong, then take the initiative to return all the dowry that I took from the Ye family to the Du family over the years."
Upon hearing this, Du Pengzhi cried even harder. Where would he get the money? Fourteen years of accumulated savings was no small sum. Where would he get it?
"Pan Jiu..."
"Panjiu... I can't live without you!"
He cried and called out, his voice filled with boundless affection.
Ye Panjiu felt extremely nauseous and disgusted upon hearing this.
Not only her, but everyone in the Ye family at home felt disgusted.
But the onlookers didn't think so, and some of the soft-hearted people were already trying to persuade them.
"To be husband and wife is a blessing from a past life. Since the husband is in such a state, young lady, please forgive him!"
"Yes, I've never seen a man treat his wife like that!"
"Young lady, you're not getting any younger. Continuing like this won't do you any good!"
Ye Panjiu got annoyed and raised her hand to close the door.
Out of sight, out of mind. She'd rather ask Chu Guan to get Du Pengzhi to return the money; she just felt like vomiting just looking at that face.
Du Pengzhi crawled on his knees, blocking the door, trying to grab her legs.
Ye Panjiu reacted as if a plague had struck, her face turning pale as she backed away, shouting, "Don't touch me!"
Heng Tong had never seen his daughter so afraid before, so he immediately stood in front of Du Pengzhi, preventing him from going any further.
Sun was pulled away by Ye Panjiu and kept at a distance, still in a state of shock.
"Whose young lady is this? Why is she so fussy!"
"They must all be spoiled by this good man! Women shouldn't be spoiled like that!"
"Exactly! Women like that are never good. They're all used up, yet they still act like virgins! Pshaw!"
Ye Panjiu smiled. This group of people had been deceived by Du Pengzhi, and she didn't want to pursue the matter further.
Now that you've been talking too much and haven't left yourself any room for maneuver, don't blame her for scolding you!
"Look at what this auntie is saying! A woman who gets married is considered a 'broken shoe'? Who said that?! Does this auntie think she's a 'broken shoe' and therefore everyone else is?!"
Auntie Broken Shoes was so angry that her face turned red. She wanted to continue cursing, but Ye Panjiu ignored her and continued to speak.
"Should women be subservient to their husbands? Women are human beings too, with their own thoughts and feelings! Why should they be appendages of men? We're not helpless; we can work and earn money ourselves, we don't need men to support us!"
Upon hearing this, Auntie Broken Shoes fell silent, and many others who wanted to speak also fell silent.
"Troublemaker? I haven't said a word, have I caused you any trouble? You're too idle all day, only looking at the surface of things. Do you know why this man is kneeling here?"
Ye Panjiu spoke quickly and made no unnecessary movements. She stood there with a commanding presence, leaving others stunned and unable to interrupt.
"This man is Du Pengzhi from Dujia Village! He passed the imperial examination last September and then falsely accused me of divorcing him. I cannot bear being falsely accused and am willing to die to prove my innocence!"
Now that I have money, Du Pengzhi had already squandered all my dowry, and even coaxed me into desperately asking my family for money, almost causing them to starve! His current attitude is just another attempt to get money from me!
Upon hearing this, Aunt Broken Shoes was so shocked that her mouth dropped open.
A roar erupted from the crowd.
How come there are so many inside stories about this?! And it's so explosive!
Du Pengzhi's face was ashen, and he was shivering from the cold, making him appear even more vulnerable.
He lowered his head and kowtowed heavily, saying, "I was blinded by greed before, and I'm so sorry!"
"Bang bang bang!"
After three kowtows, bright red blood flowed from his forehead.
He didn't wipe it off, his eyes fixed on Ye Panjiu. "Panjiu, please give me another chance! And Taohua, she has both of our blood in her veins!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Taohua drew her sword, intending to slash him.
"Bullshit! You're not my father! All you do is hit me and yell at me! I don't have a father like you!"
Ye Erniu was terrified and quickly grabbed her, saying, "No, no, we can't hit him."
Although Ye Taohua has severed ties with Du Pengzhi, everyone knows that Du Pengzhi is her father.
If word gets out, Peach Blossom's reputation will be ruined.
The onlookers stared wide-eyed. How could this be so outrageous?
Ye Taohua was still cursing angrily, "What kind of father would sell his daughter for six taels of silver the day after passing the imperial examination! You and Granny Du are both hypocrites..."
She didn't get the last two words out before Ye Erniu covered them up for her.
"Peach Blossom, don't be angry, don't be angry."
Ye Erniu covered her mouth tightly. Ye Taohua didn't want to hurt her second uncle, so she didn't dare to use too much force and could only stand there.
Ye Panjiu was utterly fed up with this scoundrel in front of her. She whispered to Du Pengzhi, "If you don't get out of here, I'll strip you of your scholar title, you believe me?"
Du Pengzhi slapped his head three more times, "Is there really not even the slightest chance for me?"
Ye Panjiu laughed angrily, "You should pay back what you owe me first, and don't forget about falling into the river."
Du Pengzhi looked up at her blankly, not believing that she really had no feelings for him anymore.
She was willing to die for him in the past, so how could she really bear to see him die now?
She's just deeply hurt by her own actions; deep down, she still loves herself!
Having thought this through, he gritted his teeth. What did it matter if he suffered now for the sake of future wealth and glory?
Du Pengzhi immediately stood up. His legs were cold, he had been kneeling for a long time, and his head was bleeding. He staggered.
